This week, Parul Singh shares the story of how she won a legal case over an ex-employer for ADHD discrimination. Parul is a Recruitment Marketing Partner and Neurodiversity Advocate at xDesign, and an ex-tech recruiter. She was diagnosed with ADHD at aged 25 and uses her platform to awareness about neurodiversity in the workplace and in the recruitment process to build a more equitable future for neurodivergent people. In order to make a bigger impact, she created a new role at xDesign, "Neurodiversity Advocate” in which she works closely with the People Team to lead the internal neurodiversity community. We all know how important it is to feel less alone. She also feeds into internal policies, processes and supports other neurodivergent employees at xDesign. As a woman of colour, she also puts a spotlight on intersectionality within Neurodiversity and the compounding impact that being from multiple minority groups has on barriers we face” Topics: 00:00 What are your earliest ADHD memories 04:29 Unhealthy sources of dopamine 11:00 Misdiagnosed with depression + finally getting an ADHD diagnosis 18:47 Normalising ADHD in life + at work 22:38 How did you feel after your diagnosis? 28:52 Imposter syndrome 32:00 Winning a discrimination tribunal + Neurodiversity in business 38:13 What is disability discrimination?

@www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me that's a very interesting salary page. I used to work around Capital one as a senior associate but I predated you by a few years. Good idea to track it like that. 👍

I'm still not over the person who compared large language models to be the same as someone owning and using a wheelchair, as a means of accessibility for writing code. Pushing a wheelchair in one meter does not consume one gallon of gas. Using a wheelchair does not require vacuuming up the internet just so it can give you a misspelling of the word strawberry.

wp shows that the world would be so much duller if successful people could just to go therapy and chill counting their stacks or something. smh what a clusterfuck. I don't like wordpress as a tech stack all that much, but... i really admire wordpress for how it democratizes access to self-hosting and allowed so many people and businesses to own their online presence. Sad to see it take such a hit, and hopefully it'll recover.

Lol I'd say something about the Wordpress thing but Occam's razor dictates that there's really nothing to add that hasn't been said. This makes me want to pour over @ntnsndr@social.coop's book on governance sooner than later. I'm highly skeptical of unaccountable hierarchical organizations (so much so I'm willing to threaten my stability over it) and this is why. Power corrupts.

On the topic of joining a #union and the collective bargaining port we as workers should work towards at #OggCamp2024, I'd also recommend discussing your salary with your colleagues!
It doesn't have to be as public as my /salary page, but it's hugely useful to do and helps work out inequity

Really enjoyed #oggcamp2024. It's great that a conference based entirely around Open Source software and Freedom exists. Open source may have a reputation of being just for nerds, but it's about *so much more* than just tinkering with code. You don't need to be a coder to benefit. When things are open source any bad behaviour (i.e. tracking, telemetry, privacy violations) hiding in our software has nowhere to hide. This becomes more important as we become increasingly reliant on our devices.

I'm missing my late Mum especially today. It's the first anniversary of her death, and to remember her we went to one of her favourite places: Westonbirt Arboretum. I was very happy when my Aunt (Mum's twin sister) agreed to join my wife & I for the day; her love of trees parallels my Mum's, so we enjoyed a long afternoon of walking through the glorious forests, and in particular the Acer glade.

When somone says something like "our competitor isn't contributing to our open source project", there's an implied assumption that anyone *can* show up and contribute changes that are meaningful to them but against the interests of the project owners (and their commercial backers). That's just not how it works. Despite that, submitting occasional PR's that have no chance of getting merged is probably the best way to expose that bullshit if/when it comes to that.

Parul's talk was incredible - her humour and reflection on her experiences of life as a neurodiverse person, through the lense of "what if neurotypicals were the weird ones" was really quite powerful.
I spent the talk very eagerly nodding along and laughing - a little distractedly - at her incredibly relatable take on the role reversal, and bangers like "Norman received feedback [that his colleagues felt weird about him because] he couldn't fidget".
I'm biased as someone who is neurodiverse myself, so related much more heavily to the talk, but feel that non-neurodiverse people in the audience could also understand the parallels.
I was very strongly reminded - in a great way - of Rachel Morgan-Trimmer's talk from OggCamp 2019 which was also a really powerful insight into life as a neurodiverse person, and I really enjoyed Parul's empathy-driven talk.
I especially loved the ending call to action, asking us all to consider what steps we could take to understand others in our life better.
My only complaint was that I wish the talk was recorded!

Suspect a large part of the future will be "AIsbestos Removal". Asbestos was a wonder material which was going to revolutionise the world. Only then we discovered just how carcinogenic it was. And now, every day, we have to gently unpick it from the urban environment. How many companies will belatedly discover that a load-bearing process is actually riddled with AI? Then they'll have to pay to carefully remove it without any further environmental damage. Hence AIsbestos.
